Chris Hoff gives us an attitude adjustment

Chris Hoff's post, How to Kick Ass in Information Security, really spoke to me. He reminds us about all the things we should already know but for one reason or another tend to forget. Inspiring actually. A snippet from the end...Think about this stuff. It's not rocket science. Never has been. Most of the greatest business people, strategists, military leaders, and politicians are nothing more than good listeners who can sell, aren't afraid of making mistakes, learn from the ones they make and speak in a language all can relate to and understand. They demonstrate value and think outside of the box; solving classes of problems rather and taking the parochial and pedestrian approach that we mostly see.

You can be great, too. If you feel you can't, then you're in the wrong line of work.
